## Abstract To control and minimize wear of metal‐on‐metal hip joints it is essential to understand the mechanisms of debris generation. __In vivo__, mainly nanosize globular and needle‐shaped particles are found. These can neither stem from the action of abrasion nor from tribochemical reactions.

## Abstract The accumulated data suggest that there is a strong correlation between polyethylene wear and osteolysis, which ultimately leads to prosthetic loosening. Second‐generation metal‐on‐metal prostheses have been introduced, with an eye toward resolving this wear‐induced osteolysis problem.
## Abstract The term DLC (diamond‐like carbon) describes a whole class of different biocompatible materials based on amorphous carbon. One possible application for DLC is the coating of artificial hip joints to increase their life expectancy. The life expectancy of artificial hip joints is limited
A hip replacement system is analysed with respect to its susceptibility to friction induced vibrations under laboratory conditions and in a pseudo-in vivo setup. The method of complex eigenvalue extraction within the framework of finite-element modelling and analysis is used to identify the geometri
## Abstract This article aims to clarify the influence of design‐ and manufacturing‐related parameters on wear of metal‐on‐metal (MoM) joint bearings. A database search for publications on wear simulator studies of MoM bearings was performed. The results of published studies were normalized; groups
## Abstract The purpose of the present study was to compare wear particles isolated from metal–metal (MM) hip implants worn in an orbital bearing simulator with particles from similar MM total hip replacement (THR) implants worn __in vivo__. Comparison of these particles is important because it wil
